| Obverse description | Animated market scene vignettes in intaglio occupy the left and right panels, with figures in traditional Indochinese dress engaged in trade and daily activities set against a warm reddish-orange underprint. The central field carries the bold letterpress denomination 'CENT PIASTRES' beneath the bank title 'BANQUE DE L'INDOCHINE' running across the top, with three signature lines for bank officials positioned along the lower margin. A green guilloche border frames the entire composition, and the engraver's credit 'G. BARRIÈRE DEL & SC.' appears in the lower portion. |

Multilingual denomination inscriptions appear at left in Chinese characters and Vietnamese ('MỘT TRĂM ĐỒNG VÀNG'), with Khmer script at right, reflecting the note's trilingual character across French Indochina's territories. The statutory counterfeiting warning text runs along the lower centre, with the designer's credit 'PHAM-NGOC KHUE' noted at lower left. |
